What you are doing ...Loke, this is truly wonderful. What you are doing here is not only to share your beautiful artwork but you are educating people who want to know more about your culture and many of those who have lost much of the meaning of their own Hawaiian traditions. In my view, you are providing a very special service not only to the Hawaiian people but to mankind. Imagine so many of those who visit the islands can be enriched by understanding what is behind the music and dance.

That's the quote about the power of the spoken word. I think it also has to do with creating: You can speak words of truth, honesty & love and will therefore produce results of life, of "ola." But if you speak words of hatred, greed & judgement then you create an outcome of death, of "make." Each person makes a conscious decision to bring forth life or death through their words.Ahonuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150885963840193000noreply@blogger.com
